PRESENTED BY EXPATSI

Happy Tuesday, Future Party. Here’s a little motivation to persevere today — Brit Karl Bushby finished a 28-year journey walking across four continents. He traversed a total of 31,000 miles across North and South America, Europe, and Asia. When all was said and done, he arrived at his mom’s house in Hull, England. It’s a truly incredible feat… but also a low-key reminder that, no matter how busy you get, everyone knows you’re in big trouble if you don’t visit your mom.

Lionsgate is partnering with Meta to bring 3D capabilities to its latest Hunger Games movie.

The Big Picture: Hollywood studios have increasingly signed deals with cutting-edge tech firms over the past year to supercharge the tools they offer filmmakers and give audiences new ways to experience their movies and shows. By joining forces with Meta, Lionsgate hopes to better compete with new distribution offerings from Apple and Disney.

Behind The Lenses: The lines between Hollywood and Silicon Valley continue to blur.

Final Conversion: While a film-focused partnership with Meta may feel a bit random, there’s actually a key director at the center of the Venn diagram — James Cameron. The legendary filmmaker’s Lightstorm Media partnered with Meta two years ago to consult on its immersive ambitions. Cameron himself has been working with Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth on 3D features.

Considering Cameron is pretty much the pioneer of modern 3D filmmaking, seeing the new Hunger Games on Meta VR Glasses may be a mind-blowing at-home experience.

Coming Soon: If Meta’s Lionsgate partnership is a success, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the company get back into producing original content.

Be honest. You’ve thought about it.

Maybe it was the $9 latte. Maybe it was a two-week vacation that ended way too soon. Somewhere along the way, “what if we just moved abroad?” stopped being a joke.

Move Abroad Week turns that daydream into a real plan. From November 10 to 15, Expatsi is going live with 38 online sessions led by immigration attorneys, tax pros, and relocation experts who move people around the world for a living.

You’ll find out:

Every session ends with a live Q&A, so bring your boldest questions.

It used to cost $350. This year? Just $49. Cheaper than your last DoorDash order.

Multi-hyphenate artist Cate Blanchett is overseeing a new literary magazine funded and published by UNIQLO.

Why It Hits: Fashion-funded literary magazines have been around for decades… but few have been spawned by a modern fast-fashion retailer. UNIQLO, however, has been carving a unique path in the retail game, combining high-style thinking with low-cost accessibility. No wonder the company has money to pour into niche creative outlets.

Between The Pages: UNIQLO is making a cultural investment.

Last Looks: According to Highsnobiety, this is technically UNIQLO’s second print venture. The company also backs a semiannual fashion publication called LifeWear magazine, edited by Takahiro Kinoshita — the former editor-in-chief of the famous Japanese menswear magazine Popeye.

Given the growing popularity of Japanese style throughout the West, Stories She Tells could sit at the intersection of interests for many different types of artists.

Prediction: A cool magazine may be the best kind of marketing for a generation growing increasingly obsessed with all things analog… even if your product has nothing to do with the literary arts.

35.2% of you voted No, and I’m not interested in yesterday’s poll: Have you ever attended a literary reading?

“I can read much faster than any literary reader and don’t have to endure introductions or questions while waiting for the event to start and end.”

“If you count toddler time at the library!!”

“Not really a library, but one of my favorites was while I was in art school. One of my favorite professors was old friends with Allen Ginsberg, and he was brought in for a reading. I also love a good literary lecture. It’s a bookworm thing.”

“Literary Death Match was one of my favorite nights out. I discovered Atticus Lish and other great authors by going to those events.”
